Ceres High’s varsity football team headed to Pacheco with one goal in mind.

The Bulldogs wanted to spoil the Panthers’ Homecoming.

Down by just eight points, Ceres High allowed six straight touchdowns on its way to losing 59-6 to Pacheco Friday night.

“We came into the game with a positive attitude,” Bulldogs’ junior lineman Elias Saldana said. “It would have made our season if we beat Pacheco on their Homecoming. We surprised them when we were one touchdown behind.”

The fourth-place Bulldogs dropped to 1-6 overall and 1-3 in the Western Athletic Conference standings.

The first-place Panthers improved to 6-1 and 4-0.

Ceres High managed to score just one touchdown for the second straight week.

“Even though we don’t have a great record, I’m still having fun playing football with my friends. We still have a chance to win.”
